Re: how to get plug out of intake?
Having worked for an automotive engine rebuilder (Speed Shop ) for 20+ years I was taught some neat tricks by the older guys. Heating up the steal plug itself with an acetylene torch, not the manifold and dousing the plug with paraffin, clean candle wax, will loosen just about any block plug or manifold plug.The paraffin works its way between the threads and lubricates them. My experience was they came out like they were just freshly lubed.This worked on many rusted blocks, heads and intakes that had galley plugs, especially all the little galley plugs in BB Chevy's blocks.Most people try to expand or heat around the plug, that doesn't work in this case, concentrate on the plug with the heat. Worth a try. Jon
